A certain vibe permeates the atmosphere whenever car enthusiasts meet. Our enthusiasm for this incredible machine combined with the camaraderie of friends creates just such a “vibe” for us at the Wake The Dragon event this spring. Every year, S2000 Owners congregate upon the rolling hills of the Great Smoky Mountains to celebrate the spirit [...]

Deadly tornadoes struck the southern United States yesterday causing a lot of damage and leaving behind a trail of displaced human lives and wanton destruction. Reports are still coming in and as of now, the death toll has neared 300 lives. These areas are home to several of our S2000 communities and, on behalf of [...]

Upon returning from Wake the Dragon 2011, our member LittleBlueS2 was inspired to pen an open letter to Honda. The scenic vistas, mountain roads and, above all else, the camaraderie shared between members of our community made a lasting impression on LittleBlueS2 to the point where a touching and heartfelt open letter was written to [...]

Plus Ones – we love them, sometimes we love to hate them, but mostly we are  glad they tolerate our eccentricities and look upon our love for the S2000 fondly. They are stoic and supportive and are equally a part of our community, and they deserve nothing less than the very best.

When Honda announced that S2000 production was coming to an end, the reactions were wide and varied. You had people giving in and buying the car anticipating that the car’s value would only increase. You also had a huge group of proud owners determined to hold on to their cars and at the same time [...]

The title although catchy, might be a bit misleading for what you’re about to read. We are in no way suggesting that you stick like glue to your S2000, but rather trying to ask how long it took you to learn how to shift a manual transmission. Driving styles and learning-how-to-drive varies by continent and [...]

An anti-theft system is one of the most popular accessories for a vehicle and provides a psychological sense of security. Such systems vary in terms of features. Some of them are quite sophisticated and include GPS tracking, remote start functions and more while others are just a basic alarm system, no more and no less. [...]

Following the series of articles from leftfootbraking reminiscing about Euro Meet 2009, we decided a proper conclusion would be a video from that meet. This week’s video features photographs taken at Euro Meet 2009 that serve as a visual reminder of that memorable time when the foothills of the Alps were taken over by a [...]

Euro Meet 2009 Revisited Continues from Part Two. leftfootbraking on EuroMeet 2009: Arriving at a T-junction we turned out on to the SS 45 and towards the San Severino parking area in Trento. Fast smooth roads guided us into the city centre. San Severino parking area was filled with S2000s all forming neat orderly lines. [...]

Euro Meet 2009 Revisited Continues from Part One. leftfootbraking on EuroMeet 2009: I quickly arrived back with the car and we off loaded our bags. At this stage I noticed that everyone else was washing and polishing their cars. Having covered over 2000km since home my Grand Prix White S2000 was only a few shades [...]

The 2009 Easter weekend saw S2000s from all over Europe assemble for EuroMeet 2009 in Trento, Italy, a town nestled just south of the Italian Alps. This was an event organized within the S2KI community, including the significant local organization by S2K Italia Club and the UK community. More than 220 S2000 owners from Europe [...]

Summer time calls for cold refreshments and we often keep cool by enjoying an ice cream cone. That said, there are other cones, the dodging of which will not only make you cooler but also pump up your adrenaline and possibly turn you into a better driver. They say driving skills can be acquired and [...]

The word “celebrity” typically conjures up images of bling, substance abuse and scandal. Being car nuts, we are likely to think of exotic cars being driven hard around roads with more curves than a photoshopped Kim Kardashian or perhaps we are reminded of the holier-than-thou celebs that belong to the Prius cult spawned by Toyota.

Having wasted around 8 minutes of his life watching videos from weeks past, and being way too kind to say something unkind, our member HadesMR decided to make a video with his S2000 and show all of us how its done. It never ceases to amaze us when it comes to the wide choice of [...]

Having paraphrased Mark Twain, we would like to assure you that S2kI has no plans whatsoever of merging with another forum (Honda or KIA because those are cars too). Over the years we have carved our own unique identity in a large part due to all your enthusiasm and participation. S2KI will strive to remain [...]
